Graph databases are great to store this information.
Let’s try to play matchmaker with Neo4j!
Download the Neo4j dataset used for this presentation.
Find top 5 competencies at “Siliconfind”.
Step 1 : What are the competencies in my company?
//What kinds of competencies are in my company
match (n:Person)-[:HAS_COMPETENCY]->(co:Competency), (n)–>(cp:Company
{name:’Siliconfind’})
return co.name as competencies, count(n) as number_of_experts
order by count(n) desc
limit 5
This query is written with Cypher the Neo4j query language. It returns us 25 results.
A data problem.

Let’s look within the network of our employees for a recruit.
Step 1 : What are the competencies in my company?
//Find friends of our employees that have a skill in java and python programming
match (c:Company {name:’Siliconfind’})<-[WORKS_FOR]-(p1:Person)-[:
FRIEND_OF]-(p2:Person) with p2 match (p2)-[:HAS_COMPETENCY]->(c2:
Competency {name:”Java Programming”}), (p2)-[:HAS_COMPETENCY]->(c3:
Competency {name:”Python Programming”})
return distinct p2.first_name as first_name, p2.last_name as last_name
We are looking for friends of Siliconfind’s employees who know Java and Python.
A data problem.

//Find a perfect candidate for our software engineer position
match (o:Job {name:’Software Engineer’})-[:IS_REQUIRED]->req<-[:
HAS_COMPETENCY]-p
with o, p, count(req) as c
where length(o-[:IS_REQUIRED]-()) = c
return p, c
We are looking for someone who matches the competencies required by the job ad.
Matching a job ad and people.
Step 1 : What are the competencies in my company?
A data problem.
We have 3 perfect matches.
p c
(18:Person {first_name:"Alberto", gender:"Male", id:19, last_name:"Boone"}) 3
(98:Person {first_name:"Tommie", gender:"Male", id:99, last_name:"Holland"}) 3
(53:Person {first_name:"Jaime", gender:"Male", id:54, last_name:"Rogers"}) 3

Antennas, servers, phones, people…
Diminish network outages
Supplier, roads, warehouses, products…
